Feel like today's result will reverberate throughout much of the team. We need to stick together. https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv/latest-videos/gordon-we-should-have-won/ Good lad. Says good things that he was selected to do media after the game. Although, I'd say the mentality isn't quite right to be talking about trying to get us up there 'with the top teams'. It circles around the issue of us struggling to transition mentally from underdogs to proper contenders. But that's no slight on Gordon right now.

pubteam Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 A real shining light today, was disappointed he got taken off and we looked much worse for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Think one of the big weaknesses of his when we signed him was that he didn't attempt many dribbles and/or wasn't very successful at it either but he's been the opposite this season.

His general use of the ball is so good for our possession, such an underated aspect of his game. Was a huge loss for us when he went off, but he does play with so much intensity that he was definitely flagging and probably did need replacing.

Oregon_Geordie Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Really impressive today, nice that he can go both inside and outside, he trusts his own skill to drop in on his right or his pace to go wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the Almiron thread? Thing is, Gordon’s in his early 20s and is already looking like a very, very good player. With Almiron we know he’s not the type of player to take us to the next level and is pushing 30. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Miggy, but Gordon's on a goal and an assist and overall has been involved in a lot of best moments in these first few games. We're moving away from the days of Ashley whereby the squad was small and we had to embrace the lads faults because it was all about stopping up. We've got huge aspirations and every place higher in the league earns us more dosh and opens up more opportunities for the club. It's not like say Wilson where he's begging Barnes to play him in. Miggy had three big chances. One was an outrageous save, but the other two have to be seen as poor finishes in the cold light of day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 More importantly, not to drag up the Barnes debate up again, but there's more to football than shooting. Taking away his goal, Gordon was far more contributive, varied and threatening in build up play. With Miggy it's the same stuff every time, good and bad, unfortunately.

duo Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 The biggest complement I can give him is he didn't get enough of the ball today especially in the 2nd half. If he had we would have won as Liverpool couldn't cope with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palestoon Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Today highlighted again how badly we need a left back who can support the left wing. Against 10 men and with TAA on a yellow we should have been wave after wave down the left side isolating him. Unfortunately Burn offers no threat to overlap and get forward, so liverpool were able to bring midfield cover to help all 2nd half down that side. They never looked uncomfortable. Hopefully hall can get up to speed soon and make the LB position his own. Think it will have a huge impact on our attacking capabilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I think it actually just shows how limited Barnes is as a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianbeany Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Some fucking hilarious comments on GrandOldTeam "McNeil is just as good as Gordon if not better, is one year older and was half the price of what we sold Gordon for. He scored a goal gifted on a plate to him, chill out." "He hasn't really become a better player at Newcastle. He just has more room to run with the ball than he did with us and that is making him seem better." "He's been bang average for Newcastle too but the Skunks want to make a rivalry where every time he kicks a ball forward they'll want to justify the price tag." Fuck knows what that last one is meant to mean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
